    I could say that I have known Mike all my life but that wouldn’t be true as we met as 4yr olds at nursery school.
    He left the UK at 20 yrs of age, a brave step and made a new life in Australia.
    We kept in touch & celebrated when we got together.
    Our phone calls at Xmas & birthdays will be sadly missed.
    R. I. P. Mick.

    I’ve known Mike for 76 years, a good mate and friend. Growing up as boys Charlie, Mike and myself did everything together, when he decided to emigrate to Australia it was a big loss to us all, but we kept in touch with visits to Australia and Mike coming home to England for holidays.
    He will be sadly missed and much loved.

    To add to my previous tribute to Mike I would just like to say there were 4 of us growing up from the age of four, the fourth person was Derek Marshall a very good friend as Mike, but who passed away 10 years ago.
    Also a very big thank you to his pals in Australia especially Issy and Joe who really watched out for Mike.
    Love to you all.

    Growing up as a teenager in Malmsbury, Longie was a regular visitor to our place.
    A true gentle man who was kind hearted and genuinely interested in how us kids were going and what we were up to.
    I will always remember him as a consistently positive person with a great sense of humour and story telling ability….
    I will make sure to sing a country ditty or 2 for you today Mick, may your smiling eyes Rest In Peace.
    Deepest condolences to Paddy and the girls, Chrissie and to family and friends back home who can’t make it here 💙
